Where can one tell if modems are soft-busied. That is what was wrong. I have since restored to service all of those channels. But before I figured it out, there didn't seem to be anywhere in TCM that told me the channels were busied out. Did I miss something???
Didn't see an answer for this one, although it's very possible I just missed it. Whichever, here's an answer for ya... 1) bring up TCM & open your chassis 2) click on the span leds of the DSP card(s) you want to check 3) click 'Performance' 4) select 'Timeslot' and then 'Select All'; click 'OK' 5) Under 'Parameters', select 'DS0 Service State' and 'Queued Action for DS0'. Click 'Add' and then 'OK'. 6) Voila. Timeslots which are busied-out are listed as 'localOutOfService' under 'DS0 Service State'. If the timeslot was hard-busied (or soft-busied with no call currently active on the timeslot), you'll see the 'localOutOfService' indication under 'DS0 Service State'. If the timeslot was soft-busied and there's a call currently active on that timeslot, you'll see that the 'DS0 Service State' is 'inService' and the 'Queued Action...' is 'localOutOfService'. As soon as the current call terminates, you'll see the service state go to localOutOfService. That, of course, being the difference between hard-busy and soft-busy. Hard-busy does it NOW. Soft-busy waits for the current call to complete. Hope this helps! - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
